Resumen
El presente artículo muestra la perspectiva enactivista (Maturana y Varela, 1984) como una alternativa teórica para investigar y esclarecer la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las matemáticas. Se presentan las raíces biológicas de la teoría, incluyendo las ideas fundamentales de autopoiesis y determinismo estructural. Posteriormente se profundiza en el acercamiento de la teoría a la cognición como un fenómeno corporal, para después ejemplificar el uso de la perspectiva en el área. Finalmente se concluye invitando al lector interesado a utilizar las ideas expuestas para investigar, de manera compleja y tomando en cuenta una multiplicidad de dimensiones, los fenómenos relacionados con la educación matemática.
